Supporting the Development of New Social Studies Standards

The current social studies standards in the District of Columbia were developed in 2007. The R4CC team assisted OSSE in updating social studies standards for PreK-12 by conducting a national scan of information related to social studies standards; gathering in-depth information on advantages and challenges of approaches to standards revision or development from select state education agencies; and helping develop a roadmap for the development of social studies standards in the District of Columbia, including stakeholder engagement.
